In the fall, John Besh will team up with his old friend and fellow chef Aarón Sánchez to open the Johnny Sánchez taquería in New Orleans. On Tuesday (Aug. 26), the pair opened their first Johnny Sánchez restaurant inside the Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore.

"I can tell you that it will embody our personalities," Sánchez said. "John really admires this cuisine, very much the way I identify with Louisiana food. For me, it's a little deeper because that's who I am as a person. I come from this culinary legacy."

The Baltimore opening offers a hint of what we'll be seeing here in New Orleans, where Mexican restaurants are popping up at a rapid pace. Casa Borrega debuted last summer in Central City. Both Taqueria del Fuego and Araña opened in recent months.

The Baltimore Johnny Sánchez is located inside a brand new $442 million Caesars casino, reports the local CBS affiliate WJZ. The casino also opened Aug. 26.

Celebrity baker Duff Goldman, whose Charm City Cakes bakery is in Baltimore, will be the "exclusive cake provider" to the casino, according to Eater Baltimore.

Guy Fieri, the food celebrity known for his spiky hair and often ridiculed restaurants, also has a 350-seat restaurant at the Horseshoe Casino.

According to Eater, Fieri expressed his excitement about the new restaurant "in incomplete sentences."
